The highly anticipated Gachiakuta anime series, which premiered in July 2025, recently unleashed its twentieth episode on November 24, 2025, bringing viewers deeper into the high-stakes battle within Zodyl’s colossal imitation trash beast. This pivotal episode intensifies the fight for survival and redefines alliances, showcasing both the strategic prowess and unwavering resolve of the Cleaners.
The Looming Threat: Zodyl’s Aerial Assault
Gachiakuta plunges viewers into a dystopian world where the impoverished “Tribesfolk” of the slums live beneath the opulent floating city, “The Sphere.” Protagonist Rudo, an orphan framed for a crime, is cast into “The Pit”—a vast, trash-filled abyss from which no one is meant to return. There, he joins the Cleaners, a group dedicated to combating dangerous trash beasts that roam the wasteland.
Episode 20 opens with a startling revelation: Rudo and his companions are trapped inside a gargantuan, artificial trash beast meticulously crafted by the villainous Zodyl. This mimic beast isn’t merely a static prison; it spreads its immense wings and ascends, setting a course for the sky’s border. The stakes skyrocket, as crossing this boundary could spell certain death for everyone onboard. Zodyl’s ultimate objective is to utilize the powerful Watchman series to obliterate the very Sphere that oppresses the lower classes, fundamentally reshaping the world.
A Chaotic Escape and Unexpected Reunions
Amidst the growing chaos, Dear demonstrates remarkable strength, puncturing a hole in the beast’s interior with his vital instrument, earning a rare moment of respect from Bundus. However, the beast’s erratic movements send Dear, Bro, and Bundus plummeting amidst a torrent of flying debris. In a stroke of bizarre luck, a derelict car intercepts their fall, providing an unexpected, albeit precarious, means of navigating the internal tempest.
Bro’s quick thinking proves crucial as he uses his headband to latch onto a metal pole, expertly steering the makeshift vehicle into a pipe, which leads them to a temporary sanctuary. Here, they encounter Enjin, who has been pursued by a dejected Fu.
A Call for Reinforcements and Shifting Loyalties
As the group regroups, Semiu from Cleaner HQ manages to establish contact, her voice filled with a mixture of concern and exasperation. She chastises them for their predicament and their failure to neutralize the beast, highlighting her inability to reach Rudo, Zanka, and Riyo. This communication gap raises immediate questions about the fate of the other Cleaners.
A moment of clarity washes over Enjin. He embraces the meaning of his name, declaring his resolve to “connect others” and unite the fragmented forces. Semiu, placing her trust in him, reveals that crucial reinforcements are already en route to assist Enjin’s team, signaling a turning point in the battle.
Simultaneously, Zodyl attempts to exploit Rudo’s anger and past, engaging him in a psychological war. He tries to sway Rudo to his cause, arguing that their objectives align more closely than Rudo’s with the Cleaners, whom he dismisses as solely focused on eradicating trash beasts. Zodyl’s persuasive tactics highlight his contempt for the existing social structure and his belief that the Cleaners are wasting their efforts.
Rudo’s Resolve and the Path Forward
Despite Zodyl’s insidious manipulations, Rudo remains steadfast. He vehemently rejects the villain’s worldview, reaffirming his deep-seated commitment to his friends and his personal quest for revenge. This powerful declaration solidifies his resolve and sets the stage for a direct confrontation.
The episode culminates with the arrival of Enjin, ready to lend his strength to Rudo and the Cleaners. The stage is now set for a strategic offensive, as the Cleaners prepare to launch a full-scale revolt from within the colossal trash beast. The unfolding events promise intense action and critical developments as the Cleaners strive to dismantle Zodyl’s plans and prevent the mimic beast from reaching its destructive destination.
